Good Vs. Evil
The main focus of my paper will be the good and evil that is shown throughout the novel by the character, Woland. I believe that Professor Woland shows many different examples in the book of both good and evil. I think that his character alone, was able to capture the theme of Good vs. Evil throughout the entire book. Though he may have shown a little bit more of one side than the other, and there are even a few events that will have you thinking to yourself about whether the act from Professor Woland was an act of evil or really a good act that may have just come off as evil at first. I still think that Professor Woland has many great examples of both good and evil that…show more content…

This benefitted the Master greatly because had Professor Woland not recovered the story from the ashes then the Master never would have been able to get it back and everything that he had already written would have been lost forever. This ends up being a very crucial part in the book. This example shows that there are sometimes where Professor Woland would use his power for good instead of evil. He could have just not helped the Master at all, and he would have just been left with a pile of ashes that used to be his story. Even though this did help Professor Woland, it still had a positive impact on the Master. Had Professor Woland always used his powers for good instead of evil, he would have been able to great things for people throughout the novel.
Another example of how Professor Woland does evil in the novel is how he manipulates Likhodeyev so that Professor Woland can have seven performances of black magic at his theatre. Likhodeyev wakes up, and feels very hung over. Professor Woland is standing right there with a piece of paper that has Likhodeyev’s signature on it, stating that Professor Woland may do his performances at Likhodeyev’s theatre. Likhodeyev does not remember signing this at all. Even though he does not remember, he still feels like he must let him do the performances because his signature is on the contract. This is a great example of Professor Woland doing evil because he has manipulated

Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita cannot be limited or reduced to just a singular point or explanation. It would be ludicrous for one to simply classify Bulgakov’s work as just a religious, ethical, social or political tract because the enforcement of only one of these points of view would hinder the reader’s insight into the depth of the entire novel. However, it is possible to be able to grasp the many themes and meanings of The Master and Margarita by the examination of one of…

should the wrong people be upset by their writings, Yevgeny Zamyatin and Mikhail Bulgakov wrote their most popular, Soviet-life condemning novels under the guise of satire. Even though they’re satirizing the same subject, in both We and The Master and Margarita respectively, they take very different paths to do so.
Satire is a literary method of saying one thing by saying something completely different yet comparable to the intended target of the satire. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, he…

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov A review
Set in Moscow during the darkest period of Stalin's regime, in the
1930s after the Russian Revolution, The Master and Margarita is a
piece of literary alchemy. It is a fusion of Geothe's Faust, fragments
of autobiography, an alternative version of the crucifixion of Christ,
a tale of political repression and a meditation on the role of an
artist in a society bereft of freedom and individuality. The book does
not have a readily describable…

The Master and Margarita: A Novel Within A Novel
The Master and Margarita is written by Mikhail Bulgakov. Bulgakov is one of the most well known Russian writers of the 20th century, and he is also noted for the rejection of the principles of the officially accepted literary method. "Bulgakov considered the writer's freedom to be more important than the goals of the Soviet government and was true to himself and his ideals in creating his literary works" (Yurkchenko 2). The Master and Margarita…

The Master and Margarita: Bulgakov’s Use of Magic Realism
The Russian novel, Master and Margarita, was written in an environment of strict government control in early twentieth century, where even the presence of the manuscript in the author’s own house was something to fear. Bulgakov is believed to have burned the manuscript, only to re-write it later from memory. He must have felt a writer’s responsibility to record the historic issues that contradicted the country’s regime and atheistic…

to God. At the performance, Woland and his entourage shower the spectators with money and fancy clothing, all of which the Moscovians snatch up immediately, thus proving their gluttony. At the end of the novel, in the chapter The Fate of the Master and Margarita is Decided, Woland speaks to Matthew Levi about the evil of the world. He believes that everything on the earth has evil in it. He asks Matthew Levi, “What would you good do if evil did not exist, and what would the earth look like if shadows…

In Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, Woland has created some kind of partnership with Yeshua Ha-Nozri. He explains to Matthu Levi, a mere mortal, that he is misunderstood by fools. Woland is simply an alternate interpretation of the Devil. During his short conversation with Matthu Levi he asks him what good deeds are they able to do if there is no evil to right. "You spoke the words as though you did not recognize the existence of either shadows or evil. But would you be kind enough to give some…
